Injured Captain with Elite Steals and Scholar-Athlete Integrity
Claire McDougall, the 5'11" junior captain of the Bradley Braves, is currently sidelined for the remainder of the 2025–26 season due to a lower body injury, but her impact remains undeniable: she leads the team with 13 steals and averages 8.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists with a dominant 62.2% field goal rate. Beyond stats, Claire is a scholar-athlete (2025 Buseybank Scholar-Athlete of the Week), a Braves Council Representative since Fall 2024, and the 2026 Winter State Farm MVC Good Neighbor Award recipient—proving she’s a high-intensity, team-first leader with elite defensive instincts and academic excellence. While her injury limits immediate availability, her personality, leadership, and steal-first mentality make her a perfect long-term fit for any team seeking integrity, intensity, and defensive disruption.
